Analytics not showing any Adwords data?

I have my Adwords and Analytics linked up, with auto tagging. I have zero advertising data on my Analytics account. My Adwords clicks and Analytics goals (I understand the difference between visits and clicks) are way off and I see zero data under "paid" search traffic sources.

Does your website/server allow parameters like "gclid=xyz" in the URL? You can test it by adding ?gclid=test or &gclid=test (if you use other parameters) to a valid URL on your site to see if these kind of parameters ar allowed.

If parameters are stripped away and the page loads - or if the page doesn't load, it could be that there are some issues with your RewriteRules.

E-Commerce Settings is set to off because I'm not directly selling anything on the website (its more a financing application)

Under "Tracking Code" where it says "Additional Steps" it shows:

Link your AdWords campaigns

Log in to your AdWords account and link to the Google Analytics account.
That doesn't make any sense because on a different admin section, under "Data Sources", it says my account is indeed linked to Adwords... so the two are contradictory.

Did you ever get this resolved? I'm sorry no one had a silver bullet fix for you, but it really seemed like something just didn't 'click' with Google between the two accounts. If nothing else, I'd suggest trying to get a word in with a Google AdWords rep.
